Welcome to Week 4. Unfortunately, we did have two writers who had to drop out after Week 3, so, for the rest of you, I've become used to the idea that you're all the heroes, fighting the good fight against a sadistic villain. Not this week. This week, your job is to play the proverbial bad guy and, in your scripts, have your protagonist be the villain. It's just that simple. Good luck. =)
Theme: "Your Hero Is the Villain."
Genre List:
Action/Adventure Comedy Crime Horror Western Mystery Sci-Fi Thriller Fantasy Historical

Who dropped? Warren and Jordan? Looks like there’s someone else, is there?

And how to be positive, negative or indifferent about this theme? Looks like additional variable and not a theme.

Joe (Spqr) did. He has his reasons, which are private. Unless he feels like sharing them, I would leave it at that.
That's true, this is much closer to a variable than a theme. However, it's something that I've just been wanting to see. I didn't say positive, negative, indifferent this time. So, all in all, grading for this round should be easier and more streamlined.

So, how bad is bad enough? Does he have to kill, think of killing, or maybe some unethical behavior will do?

Well, it was only a vague idea not written, thank God. :)
So, just to clarify your villain could appear to be the good guy (hero) initially, right?

Interesting. I could do a traditional villain who is simply a villain, or a more modern villain who thinks they are the hero and has reasons for their actions.
I also hear Trump is joining in this week using the elements person, woman, man, camera, T.V. I can't wait to see what he comes up with!

The villain is the hero of his/her own story. But I think it'd need to be clear we're talking about something more serious than a difference of opinion on what is right.

So, just thinking, your main character is the bad guy, not necessarily the hero in the conventional sense, but the guy who comes out on top. ??
I'm having trouble with this:
Given the the antagonist is synonymous with “the bad guy", it's not easy.

There have been many films that either have the villain as the protagonist...and some of who have reson to think they are in the right.
There Will Be Blood My Best Friend's Wedding American Psycho (although technically, Bateman was over worked and hallucinating) Nightcrawler Last Days Of Disco X Men films (Magneto) Avengers Infinity War (Thanos)
most gangster movies some vigilante films

But I think Legacy fits too. Does it? I wish people told me here if Legacy fits this. Because I like moreof this type of stories, where the villain is not so obvious yet he's a villain.

Btw, there are a fair amount of scripts last round and this round that didn't FADE OUT. I get the page count restriction makes it difficult... but technically the actors are still there, waiting for the writer to drop the curtain, ala THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO...

To quote SeaN, he said... "have your protagonist be the villain."
I think that allows for straight up villains, anti-heroes, protags that appear to be good and then are revealed not to be, etc etc... I'll only think it's offside if the main character is not in some way the villain or villainous.

Yeah I was a guilty party of that last round. I noticed others doing the same, no FADE OUT mostly due to the five page limit, and pushing it as far as it can go. I'm rather loose with it though in the challenge. If it's there it's there and that's good. If it isn't, it isn't and I'm okay with it given time and page limit.

AJR, that's very funny about the characters being stuck in limbo on the page. ;D
I agree on the theme not being met in the sense Blondie hoped for too. Least, I imagine... The most popular story will win out, regardless of that.
It's no easy challenge... I didn't manage one this week so not wanting to be too critical.

Obviously, I was making a joke about them being frozen in time...
In scripts we submit to prospective directors, producers, etc., it's necessary so that the reader doesn't think there are pages missing. In this contest we pretty much know the story ends at page 5.
On the other hand, it's a cheat for space, given that space is so precious with the page limit.

Hey, at least no one is using 9-point fonts or setting their paper to legal size.
The best one I ever heard of was a word-count limit, and since the staff were using software word counts, one guy got the idea to put in a page-sized image of about four paragraphs of text.

And then there were 12.
Just finished reading them all! With writers dropping out, it makes for a quicker read and review. A couple entries really stand out this week. Interesting the level of spelling/punctuation/grammar errors this week. And the couple with no fade outs (no points off for that, though)!

That's always backfired in the past. Not that folks figured out it was me who wrote it, but in order to"throw people off" I'd throw in a few criticisms of my own work which others missed. Then other folks chime in, and in 'agreeing' with me, the reviews take a bigger nose dive ;D

Agree with DJS on this - positive comments seem like a campaign for your own script, and negative comments are just weird...
If someone wants to spend the time figuring out which single script I haven't commented on, then have it yet. I'm too busy to engage in that.

The bit that I've noticed with this one is the theme seems to have confused people... people are looking for anti-heroes or goodies who reveal themselves to be bad later, and that's not what Sean initially said.
To quote Sean "This week, your job is to play the proverbial bad guy and, in your scripts, have your protagonist be the villain. It's just that simple."
So protag* = main character... has to be a villain.
I think the further discussion in the thread has then confused things.
*Protags don't have to be good as far as any definition I can find.

That's how I understood Sean as well - your main character is a bad guy. This is actually simple, I agree with him on the fact that it's simple to understand. Unless i totally misunderstood what he said and "your protag" doesn't mean "your main character"

Agreed. I've also noticed if the villain has a reason for being the bad guy, some folks seem to think that makes them not a true villain as it is understandable why they are being bad, but that is not correct. Most villains see themselves as the hero and have reasons for their villany.
It's bloody tough coming up with anything with the criteria we have left so I just think we should cut each other some slack.

Very true. I'm being more lenient with reviews and not disqualifying anyone if they have at least attempted to include the parameters, but my score is still based on how much I enjoyed the story, the characters and if they have put an original spin on it.

I vaguely recall a hanging in 1877, Johnny, in which the hangman wore a suit of armour, the gallows was decked out like the Titanic, and the condemned guy was in a fish tank.
Perfect for a comedy or mystery ::)

“This week’s theme is... I’m thinking of a number between one and twenty. You need to use that number in your script. No, I’m not telling you what the number is until ten minutes before the deadline.”
Originally, my rough draft plan for week 2 (way back when I decided I was going to do this year's) was something very close to that. It was to pick a number between 0 and 9. For every number away from my number that you picked, you'd lose .1 points off your score for that week (like Lucky Seven on The Price is Right). Seemed WAY too mean-spirited. And evil. And I bet some people would've quit. So, I chose something a little bit more family-friendly. That makes me almost not a villain, right?

Well Blondie, you didn't act on that evil thought at least.
But this week's evil dastardly theme remains to be seen. I'm interested in scores for people ignoring theme altogether.
We shall see...

I don’t remember scripts that ignored the theme. Hmm let me think. And maybe rescore?
Oh I’m kidding. But I’m thinking everyone wrote on the theme in some way.

Voted and waiting with bated breath for the final theme. In fact, I'm holding my breath for as long as possible and I keep passing out, it's fun - weeeee!

It’s going to be themeless. I counted Sean’s haha’s- not nearly enough, he’s practically spoon feeding “themeless” to us

It's Friday here!! What's happening with Theme announcement? Just stirring things up my end. :D
I reviewed a fair few but didn't vote as I didn't partake in this round.

You're being very witty lately, Kham. ;D Still hoping for themeless?
Oh I know it’s the themeless week!

Based on the mail Don sent out, someone called Maggie has won this week using crazy mathematics. Damn you, Maggie! *shakes fist in air*

Yeah, bloody Maggie ruins it for us all. I didn't even play Round 4 and I'm still miffed. :)

If Maggie wrote the one I suspect then it was a good script ;-)

Molly wrote something creative and bold if her entry is both loved and hated. She know she was taking risks there but she was brave to do it. Be like Molly!

I'm liking the fact that the results are not out yet. I say keep them to yourself, but those who wrote a good one obviously want to know where they stand. pfft

I'm certainly not stressing it. I'm definitely a Molly. Lol

Sean's doing this on purpose! Making us wait and sweat it out.
